The Panpiper's mission is to develop and foster a strong community partnership and spirit . By promoting organized educational, social entertaiment services and other community activies to help promote the steelpan and prepare interested students for a meaningful future.

As a bona file member of the Steelpan fraternity, I am willing, ready and prepared, to assist in any effort to develope a viable local and global community partnership in relationship to the Steelpan Performing Arts, Science and Technology. Steelpan communities must be able to work towards a united state of affairs for the betterment of Steelpan performing arts and technology world-wide.

I support medias such as "When Steel Talk" a very important medium for the Gobal steelpan community.

Pan for the People

The Steel Pan is both a unique discovery and a ground breaking invention in its relationship to physics of Metal and Music. Of all musical instruments in the world of music and since, 6th century BC when Pythagoras the "Greek Father of Mathematics", made popular and re-established the cycle of fifths in musical theory; the Steel Pan is the only musical instrument comfigured to follow this systematic sequence of intervals. In music theory, the circle of fifths (or circle of fourths) is a visual representation of the relationships among the 12 tones of the chromatic scale, their corresponding key signatures, and the associated major and minor keys. More specifically, it is a geometrical representation of relationships among the 12 pitch classes of the chromatic scale use on the Soprano steelpan.

Mr Anthony Williams is the first person to use the theory in a practical manner as he developed the "Spider-web Pan" in Trinidad. Just. because this extraordinary vision and creativity, Mr Williams deserves to be nominated for the Nobel Peace prize in Physics.

I pay tribute to the most unique musical instrument invented, since the

6 century BC. where Greek history gives credit to Pythagoras for calculating intervals in musical tones and notes.

Our Steelpan Inventors and Innovators are first in over 2000 years to follow the Pythagorean usingt of intervals of the cycle of 4th & 5ths,

The basic idea of using a flat surface of a metal drum to experiment, therefore, creating a unique musical instrument this lead to a new ground breaking descovery of a new symphonic and orchestra tonal quality.

To the

Government of the Republic of Trinidad andTobago

An Act of Parliament is needed.

An open letter to the Honourable Prime Minister and Minister of Arts and Culture. Please foward an Official Bill; an Act of Parliament declaring the Steelpan Our National Emblem and musical instrument.

In 1962 the government did not declare the Steel Pan our National Instrument, subsequently, the Goverment must pass an Act of Parlimentto officially declaring Steel Pan, an Emblem and along with stature of the National Instrument. The Steel Pan Instrument must be recognize for it level of attainment in the modern world. The response of our creativity,cultural freedom and oppression, therefore, is as revelant as a symbol of Freedom in T&T as is the Statue of Liberty to the USA.
